He has been dragged to court to defend himself on why he recently set thousands of Bibles on fire.

Pastor Aloysius Bugingo

Pastor Bugingo was said to have set the Bibles on fire because they have been heavily edited, and were misleading his congregation. He also claimed the King James Bible version contained the word Holy Ghost more times than it did the word Holy Spirit.

Ugandan pastor in hot soup over controversial burning Bibles

The lawyer representing Aloysius Kiiza Matovu and Evangelist Semugooma Francisco who dragged the pastor to court, what Pastor Bugingo did is highly incriminating.

“It is criminal for him to burn Bibles because it goes against the constitution which guarantees freedom of worship and he is abusing the objects of worship which include Bibles, Qurans, rosaries and any other items people may choose to use during worship,” Wameli said.

“We are not witch-hunting the pastor but we want him to know that there are future generations that should find Bibles and know that our grand-parents used to pray using them,” Mr Matovu who was once a close friend of Pastor Bugingo said.
